Qld really have three #4 locks and only one #5. Liam Wright is the best pure lineout caller at the club by a distance.

That is because you are not aware of anything that has happened in rugby in the last 10 years, or possibly ever since professionalism started!

England don’t have a great record of enticing back coaches they have previously discarded! Farrell, Shaun Edwards and SL all fall into that category. Few can be bothered with all the damaging politicking that goes on behind the arras at Twickers.

I don’t entirely agree with it, though I would say Stuart is still in the process of finding where his unique skill set fits best.

Yep great point. The key is adaptation. If those older coaches find ways to keep evolving they already have a knowledge base few can match.

I think the coaches club is more cutthroat in Soccer. Manager turnover in the Prem is insane so maybe that accounts for the younger profile?

In rugby it’s a bit more gentlemanly, once you’re in - you’re in. In future I can still see those coaches with a longer professional memory staying at the top. It’s a hard thing to imitate all that experience - so you still have Hansen, Henry, Deans, Smithy etc coaching well into their 60’s.

Thanks JD. Looks like the piece deserved far more exposure than it got!

He had a lot of unfortunate moments with discipline, just short periods of utter recklessness more than anything else PB. Those tend to be highlighted more at international level when retribution comes swiftly!

Being an artist in New York, I rely heavily on online platforms to showcase and sell my work. One day, I was approached by a gallery claiming to offer international exposure for my art. They promised to feature my pieces in exhibitions and connect me with global buyers. Excited by the opportunity, I agreed to their terms, which included an upfront payment of $3000 to cover administrative fees. The gallery’s contact person stopped responding to my emails, and when I tried to visit their address, it turned out to be fake. I realized I had fallen victim to a scam. Feeling betrayed and frustrated, I didn’t know where to turn. That’s when I discovered Muyern Trust Hacker on ( Te le gram at muyerntrusthackertech ) I reached out to them, providing all the details I had: the gallery’s information, transaction records, and emails from the scammer. They worked tirelessly with international authorities to track the funds and initiate the recovery process. Within a few weeks, they successfully returned the $3000 to me. The relief I felt was overwhelming. Not only did I get my money back, but I also learned valuable lessons about verifying opportunities and being cautious with upfront payments. They are true professionals who go above and beyond to help their clients. Thanks to them, I can now focus on creating and sharing my art without the burden of losing hard-earned money to scammers. Here is their mail for efficient resolution: (muyerntrusted(@) ma il - me(.) c o m )

You’re talking about the English Premiership here Andrew, what do you think it is?

Like BA said, only thing wrong with Shields when he left was his hands.

He basically started his career as Julian finished his (AB wise). If whatever hes done to fix that problem he’d have probably been the frontline 6 (a weak position as it were).

Whether it has anything to do with playing up north (maybe he had to simply his game for their level of play?) we don’t know.

Can Samoa and Tonga ever become contenders when their top talent is skimmed?

Yes Spew, I can understand this. I wasn't referring only to NZ but in general, mainly including the NH nations.

Both statements off the mark for me HHT.

Agree that he was in a very different position to those other names though.

NZ is also suffering from this… see Ireland for example.

Yeah Shields has been good, in that he’s finally started catching the ball. It was the only thing stopping him from being an All Black, and he fixed while he was ineligible! Poor bugger.

I think I’ve seen just one drop from him, amazing as he’s kept up his aggressiveness with and around the ball still.

I would have the positive for Hoskins is that he would be treated at face value and appreciated for his unique style, instead of being told what he’s not to be an All Black, but I actually hear things have improved on the communcation front.
